Does your dog get car sick?

Just wanted to share my successful strategy. Ginger is very good for preventing nausea. My new adoptee Zephyr has terrible car sickness, driving 8 blocks to the park he threw up both ways. I really wanted to take him to the dog park but it’s 13 miles away. So I started out by pushing a piece of candied ginger down his throat half an hour before we left and it worked. He drooled copiously but no barf. After doing this three times I tried without the ginger and he barfed both ways. The candied ginger has sugar on the outside, pushing it down his throat was like sandpaper. So I went to Whole Foods Market and got their house brand of ginger capsules. Stuck one in a piece of weenie and even though he bit into it and got a wtf? look on his face dutifully chewed it up and swallowed it. Worked like a charm. Having Tempest in the car, the windows down and the AC on also helps. Just thought this might be helpful to other pet owners. It has a pretty long effective time as I gave it to him at 8:30am, left for the park at 9am, they played for over an hour and got home at close to 11am. I much prefer ginger to motion sickness drugs.
